Electrification Coalition’s Post

Nationwide, cities operate about 4 million cars, trucks, and buses, a little more than 1 percent of the 283 million vehicles on America's roads. Government fleets are demonstrating that EVs are viable for both business and personal use, lowering maintenance and fuel costs while reducing emissions. Many cities have adopted climate goals and are buying EVs for their fleets at a faster rate than the general public. Progress will also accelerate as more EVs enter the market and cities learn more EVs, EVSE, grants, and tax incentives. While many city fleets are only now buying their first EVs, it only takes a few EVs to begin to see their benefits. Dallas, Texas, for instance, plans to buy $9.5 million in charging equipment over ten years and 100 EVs a year, potentially saving $100,000 annually in tax credits and reduced fuel costs. About 5 percent of Dallas’ city fleet currently comprises EVs, hybrids, or plug-in hybrids. Statewide, about 2 percent of vehicles are electric, but with Dallas planning to buy 1,000 EVs over the next decade, the percentage of EVs will rise. In New York City and San Jose, California, 25 percent of the municipal fleet is made up of clean vehicles, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), which tracks cities ' clean-fleet investments, Typically, cities start by buying light-duty EVs such as sedans and pickups. However, many specialized trucks, including battery-powered trash trucks and fire engines, are coming on the market. Climate Mayors and the Electrification Coalition have created a purchasing cooperative for cities to purchase EVs. The 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law set aside billions of dollars for public chargers, some of which have gone to cities. In other cases, metropolitan planning organizations or groups of cities have banded together to win grants. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act allowed cities and nonprofit groups to qualify for EV tax credits even though they typically don’t pay federal income taxes through "elective pay." The Electrification Coalition is working to educate fleet managers in smaller cities about the tax credits and help them understand other basics, such as the best time of year to place an order for a fleet. Many cities have gotten past their initial EV purchase, said Matt Stephens-Rich, director of technical services for the coalition. “Now the attitude is shifting to not just 'How do we buy one or two of these, but tens, dozens at a time?'" he said. #electricvehicles #fleetelectrication

Had some fun debating the very real issue of establishing a well connected transport system in a world dominated by cars with a few industry colleagues Gaurish Wagle, Nadeem Shakir, Omar Al-Battaineh and David Carrignon. A few key points from our discussion: 1. We need more options, public transport and space for people whether on foot or using micromobility must be provided. All those public transport plans need to be delivered. 2. We need to be more flexible in the development of new infrastructure, and in the use of existing infrastructure. The rigidity of design standards should be questioned, and reviewed against what is actually required in the context of a development or project. 3. We need to use the data to guide us. Data is more available now than ever, every new app in the transport system is telling us more about travel behaviour and what levers could be used to arrive at the mobility outcomes we desire. We all need to be conscious of the desicions we make in the planning and design process, and we should learn from our mistakes.

The looming implementation of New York City's cordon-based congestion pricing heralds a new era in managing urban traffic. What will this change mean for other cities and regions? How should they respond? Michael Lewis, who has led our work in New York, weighed in as part of a new article on five key trends in transportation technology. See his insights and read about all five of the trends: https://lnkd.in/ghvB7r5q #FutureMobility #TransportationTechnologyTeam

𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, public transportation changed our cities. More than a century later, we are still using the same modes of transportation. Are they enough for us today? New challenges face us: traffic jams, higher energy prices, changes in urban needs. All these call for a rethinking of public transport. 1️⃣ 𝘐𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺: Current public transportation systems are most to the time under capacity, especially off-peak. 2️⃣ 𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵: Large vehicles, especially rail infrastructure, can be ineffective and disturbing.         3️⃣ 𝘈𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺: Changes in consumer preferences in the city are hard to meet. 4️⃣ 𝘌-𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦: Rising demand for delivery of goods remains overlooked. The future of public transport will have to belong to innovators. Technological leaps in battery development and production of AI and self-driving cars may enable us to create something much more sustainable, efficient, and customized. 𝑰𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆: ▶️ Autonomous vehicles provide door-to-door service. ▶️Shared vehicles efficiently transport both people and goods. ▶️Public spaces are dynamically allocated based on real-time needs. ▶️A fleet of vehicles of varying sizes optimizes transportation for different requirements. Let's embrace this technological revolution and build a public transportation system that truly serves our cities and communities. #publictransportation #transformation #futureofcities
